Re: New 45/4 going at half that...

Must add, that now I tried the speed test on testmy.net an averaged @ 55.4 mbps. What gives ? Are these sites not reliable? Or browser based tests inaccurate? Which one is telling the truth ?

P.s. loading youtube vids on HD seems to buffer quickly, but i nthe end I can't figure out which results for the tests and correct.

Flash based tests tend to be unreliable, and even more so because some of the servers speedtest.net uses are overloaded and can't give proper speeds...I usually prefer to download a bunch of stuff at the same time (just to make sure I'm saturating my connection) and get an approximation of my speeds based on that. This also eliminates the Turbo Boost effect.

You're fine. If you're capable of getting 55 mbps (Which you can, with speedboost) on any speedtest server, then that's what TSI is providing. Slower speeds on other tests are almost certainly a problem with the test server, not your service.
